Was posted in a Z4 WhatsApp group I'm currently in by a Russian guy. Driver died, his girlfriend survived somehow.

What a waste of a life. :(
Looks like quite a high speed smash looking at the state of the car. I know buses are heavy, but that Z has some serious damage.

She might not have liked him that much :tumbleweed:

Sad waste especially if it was just a case of driving like an idiot.
